Chapter 6
A sunny stay in No: 4 Private Drive.
Harry sighed as he watched his owl fly in with a dead mouse, thankful that his nosy, long-necked Aunt Petunia was too scared to clean his room any more. He had decided to name the owl Hedwig, after someone he had found in one of his school books.
Harry let his mind wander as he stared out the window, into the night sky. His mid drifted back to the moment he arrived back at number 4 Private Drive, with more than a new set of books.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
"I'm home!" Harry called as he held the door open for Usagi. Harry led the way to the lounge room, and cleared his throat to let the Dursleys know he was there. To their surprise, Harry's beach ball-sized cousin, Dudley, ran out the room screaming and clutching his bottom. Through the over-weight boy's hands, Usagi could see what looked like a pig's tail. "Er. Uncle Vernon?"
"What do you want, boy? Go up to your room!" Harry's round, neck-less uncle replied in way of a greeting.
"Er, we have a guest." Harry said cautiously, flinching as his uncle's head snapped around to look at them.
"And who might you be?" He asked with a sickly sweet voice.
Usagi bowed. "I am Usagi Tsukino. I will be attending Hogwarts with Harry."
Harry could feel the hair on the back of his neck rise as his uncle's face turned red with rage. "You won't be staying here! You will-"
"I am sorry for this inconvenience, but I have been placed here for the month before tem starts" Usagi said as politely as she could as she retrieved the letter she had found with her ticket, explaining the circumstances. She gave the letter to Mr. Dursley, and waited for him to read it.
"We have no room." He grumbled.
"She could sleep in the spare room Aunt Mavis uses when she visits." Said Harry carefully, unable to keep the hope out of his voice.
"Fine." Uncle Vernon agreed grudgingly. "Put your things away and remember; nothing unnatural is to be done in this house. We are good Normal citizens, and I won't have either of you tarnishing our good name."
Usagi bowed again as Luna looked up. "Thank you, sir."
Uncle Vernon jumped to his feet when he saw Luna, and demanded angrily. "The cat stays outside."
"Yes sir" Usagi said as meekly as she could. Harry led the way back out to the front door. "He doesn't mean it, does he?"
"Unfortunately," Harry sighed. "Look, Luna, why don't you climb up the tree outside my window after Uncle Vernon has seen you outside? I'll let you in through the window, and you can stay in my room."
"It's okay" Luna said, jumping off Usagi's shoulder. "I don't want to get you in further trouble with your aunt and uncle"
"It'll be fine. Aunt Petunia doesn't come into my room. She's too scared I'll turn her into an ostrich or something." Harry smiled.
"Please Luna," Usagi pleaded "just do it"
"Alright! Alright, just put the cutie eyes away. You make me sick sometimes, do you know that?" Luna walked outside and Harry closed the door behind her.
Usagi turned to pick up one end of the trunks and Harry picked up the other. Together, they carried Usagi's trunk up to the spare room on the second floor.
Usagi lowered her end to the ground and stretched her back. "Man that thing is heavy."
"Tell me about it." Harry panted. They went to get Harry's trunk.
"Is your family always like that?" Usagi asked on the way down.
"Regarding anything non-muggle? Yep" He said as they picked up Harry's trunk and carried it to his room.
"Muggle?" She questioned as they heard Luna rap on the window with her claws.
"Non-magic people." Harry explained, opening the window for Luna. "You can sleep here." He said; pulling out a cat basket Dudley had stolen from a kid at school for fun. Harry placed it on the work desk Dudley had received for his birthday last year, but refused to use; and placed an ugly old hand-me-down jumper in it for her to sleep on.
"Harry!" A shrill voice called from downstairs. "You and the other one come down for dinner now!"
"Yes Aunt Petunia! Harry turned back to Luna. "Would you like either of us to bring you anything?"
"No, your owl asked me to go hunting with her. What are you going to name her anyway? She can't go through life without a name."
"I don't know-"
"Harry James Potter!"
"Coming Aunt Petunia!"
"Leave the window open for us." And with that, Luna pulled the latch on the cage open with her claw, and both bird and cat were gone into the night.
"Talented cat."
Usagi laughed. "Just wait until she starts magicking things out of nothing."
Harry stared at her in confusion. Usagi ran past him and down the stairs. He stared after her for a moment, and then bound out after her.
When they reached the dining room, Usagi was amazed to see Harry's cousin scoffing down food, nearly as fast as her. Usagi sat down next to him and Dudley glanced up for a moment. Usagi fought to keep a straight face as recognition dawned on him, and he ran out the room, clutching his fat behind.
"Your cousin is very strange-" "No he is not!" Uncle Vernon steamed as he looked up from his paper. "He is the best son a father could wish for! Now, Eat Your Dinner!"
Aunt Petunia placed a plate of bangers 'n mash in front of them. Usagi placed her palms together and said "ITADAKIMAS!!" and Harry and the Dursleys watched as Usagi cleaned the plate in less than three minutes.
"GOCHISOOSAMADESHITA!" She exclaimed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
The rest of the month carried on the same. While Harry was safe from chores, he and Usagi still had to deal with Uncle Vernon's snide remarks and put-downs.
Harry smiled as a thought occurred to him. "We leave tomorrow." He said to Hedwig. "I'd better go talk to Uncle Vernon."
Harry pondered how to ask him for a lift tomorrow as he made his way to the lounge room. When Harry was standing in the lounge room doorway, he cleared his throat and watched as Dudley ran out screaming, just like he had been doing for a month. "Er. Uncle Vernon?"
"What is it boy? Can't you see I'm, busy?"
"Er, Usagi and I have to be at Kings Cross Station before 11 o'clock tomorrow. I was wondering if I could ask you to take us to London."
Uncle Vernon grunted a yes. "Your Aunt Petunia and I have to take Dudley to London tomorrow to get that damn tail removed." He sneered. "What platform?"
"The ticket said nine and three quarters"
"Nine and three quarters? There's no such thing! Alright, be ready tomorrow morning, or I'll change my mind." He chuckled.
